TheStreet Ratings team rates TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SFTWR as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:

"We rate TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SFTWR (TTWO) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, expanding profit margins and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."
